Futsal: (Portuguese pronunciation: [fut'saw]) is a variant of association football that is played on a smaller

pitch and mainly played indoors. Athens futsal uses the low-bounce ball and the basic rules of futsal in a less formal version. Athens futsal is played on hard court and turf field surfaces. Games are self officiated based on principles of fair play and compassion for fellow players. Teams are formulated with the objectives of parity and maximizing the enjoyment and learning of all players.

Athens futsal is an Ohio University and Athens community based group that includes futsal players of all ages, genders, abilities and backgrounds. We are dedicated to fostering opportunities for members of the broad OU and Athens community to develop the love of the game, improve skills and abilities, and to foster friendship and community among all players. We do this by encouraging inclusive participation in recreational, just-for-fun games and by actively demonstrating our commitment to fair play, and compassion for the safety, enjoyment, and development of all players.
